Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 packets Instant oatmeal packets (any flavor)
- 75 grams Chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the instant oatmeal packets and chocolate chips or raisins, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
